A Staff Shake-Up Wont Save Trumps Flailing Presidency

[DemocratSinceBirth]

These are dark days inside the White House. The fledgling administration has sprung innumerable leaks, evidence not just of a government riven by infighting, but also President Donald Trump’s deliberately chaotic management style. “The way that Trump treats his senior staff is one of those places where he is totally and completely off the charts,” writes The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza, who is usually given to normalizing Trump. “Most presidents do everything they can to show public support for the men and women in their inner circle...Trump, on the other hand, not only seems entirely comfortable airing his issues with senior staff but also appears to enjoy doing so.”


n the popular imagination, Trump is the boss behind the big desk who chews out failing employees and yells, “You’re fired.” There has been real continuity between the Trump of Celebrity Apprentice and the president who keeps his underlings in a state of permanent insecurity. The main difference is that he hasn’t fired anyone of importance—not explicitly, anyway. National security advisor Michael Flynn resigned on Monday night after it became clear he had misled the White House about phone calls with the Russian ambassador late last year.
